Claiborne Inactive; Armstrong, Coe, Schaefering Active

ARLINGTON, Texas – Cornerback Morris Claiborne is one of the seven Cowboys’ inactives for the first time this year.

The rookie will miss the Steelers game after suffering a concussion a week prior against the Bengals. The play occurred when his helmet popped off during a hit along the sideline.

A stretcher came out for Claiborne, who was motionless on the ground. He eventually got back on his feet and walked off on his own power with a towel pressed to his face for facial lacerations.

Claiborne was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, and evidently he wasn’t ready for the game. He’s recorded an interception and two fumble recoveries, including one for a touchdown, this season.

Cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Mike Jenkins will be the likely starters. Sterling Moore and Michael Coe will also provide depth at the position.
